The Snooper S6000 TRUCKMATE LITE satellite navigation system
includes all the features and functions of the best selling S7000
TRUCKMATE with the exception of DVB-T digital TV making it a more
affordable system but no less impressive. S6000 TRUCKMATE LITE is the
result of years of development based on our research of the industry and
feedback from the 1000's of truck drivers already using Truckmate. As a
result Truckmate is the most comprehensive portable sat nav system
designed specifically for trucks on the market. Truckmate uses Navteq
transport data at it's core, but Truckmate is further enhanced with
1000's more attributes combining to give far more comprehensive cover
of hazards on more roads than any other system on the market.
The S6000
Truckmate LITE incorporates a large 7" display. This larger format
display makes it much easier to view any potential hazards to your
vehicle such as weight and height restrictions, plus it makes it
possible to display all turn-by-turn routing instructions in a larger
format making them much easier and safer to read whilst driving.
In fact everything about S6000 Truckmate LITE is bigger and better.
It is easier to enter addresses and scroll through the systems menu as
the on-screen button sizes are bigger and easier to press. Plus the
S6000 incorporates more features including TMC traffic information and
Bluetooth handsfree.
Truck navigation - the problem
You can't have missed the almost weekly press reports of a truck or
large vehicle getting sent along an inappropriate route by an inept sat
nav system. Almost all these stories end in disaster with the vehicle
concerned stranded in a field, wedged under a bridge and even destroying
property. It is reported that there has been millions of pounds worth
of damage caused as drivers use portable satellite navigation systems
designed for cars to navigate commercial vehicles.
 
Truckmate satellite navigation - the solution
The first satellite navigation system designed specifically for trucks and commercial vehicles.
S6000 Truckmate LITE has been created to provide a solutuion to these problems. TRUCKMATE
is the first portable satellite navigation system to include dedicated
routing designed specifically for trucks and large vehicles such as
coaches and buses - plus Snooper’s multi-award winning speed camera
detector technology.
Environmentally friendly technology
As well as routing you safely and effectively to your destination, Snooper TRUCKMATE will also guide you around the most economical route. Faced with a choice of a route using a steep incline or one with more straightforward flat roads, Snooper TRUCKMATE will select the latter. Improved fuel consumption, improved cost effectiveness
TRUCKMATE has the answer.
This unique software will create a route based on the attributes of
your particular vehicle. Simply tell the unit the size and weight of
your vehicle, plus the type of load if applicable and Snooper’s
TRUCKMATE software will calculate a safe, truck friendly route. Routes
will be calculated based on roads with adequate width and height,
excluding
roads with low bridges or weight restrictions plus
many other hazards.
Improved routing - no other satellite navigation system routes in the same way.
It's not just about routing to avoid hazards. Truckmate's unique
routing algorithm ensures that where possible larger vehicles are only
taken on appropriate roads. No other sat nav system on the market
creates routes in the same way.
Truckmate - more hazard information than any other sat nav designed for trucks.
Truckmate uses Navteq transport data to provide the core truck data.
However Truckmate also incorporates additional information ensuring more
comprehensive cover than other sat navs using the standard Navteq
package. Truckmate offers greater cover on smaller, narrower roads where
it is most needed. Truckmate has more hazard information on more roads
across Europe than any other portable sat nav system designed for
trucks.
Snooper's Truckmate sat nav will save you £££'s in fuel and time!
Recent research has shown that a Snooper Truckmate sat nav will pay for
itself and quickly. Sat nav users on average drive 16% fewer miles,
which means drivers use 16% less fuel. Plus travel times are reduced by
18% on average producing fantastic cost savings at a time when every
penny counts, not to mention the cost saved avoiding damage to your
vehicle and property on route!
Car navigation.
Although Truckmate has clearly been
designed to navigate trucks and larger vehicles on safe and legal roads
it also incorporates a car setting. Simply switch Truckmate to car
mode and it will navigate you on the most effective routes for your car
instead!
| Steve Love of HDNL says: “It was great to be able to work with
Performance Products on creating something that is certain to have a
huge impact on the haulage industry. It’s no longer acceptable for
drivers to be content with sat navs made for smaller vehicles — there
are specific issues involved with driving HGVs, and the TRUCKMATE
takes all of them into account.” |

information is provided by ITIS probably the best traffic
information provider in the UK. Traffic information is fed from 100's
of thousands of vehicles and sensors across the country providing up to
the second information. It's reach and accuracy is far better than
those systems that use fixed sensors only providing a considerably
higher level of service.
Snooper's Truckmate TMC service will alert you to all traffic
incidents across the country and lists them in distance order from your
current position. As well as this overview however you can also choose
to monitor traffic incidents that are specific to the route you have

can simply ask Truckmate to automatically find a route around it.
Driver Testimonials

John Beddow is
an HGV driver for Uniloads, the country’s leading specialist in the
delivery of commercial vehicles throughout the UK and Europe.
“I drive a
number of different sizes and types of trucks, and TRUCKMATE has
proved invaluable. Although I’ve used sat navs for years and they’ve
all saved me time, I often used to find myself going 15 miles out of
the way before realising I couldn’t go any further. Nothing removes
the unique hassles of truck driving like TRUCKMATE.”

Andy Saunders drives for the UK’s leading manufacturer of natural stone and concrete hard-landscaping products.
“There’s
nothing like TRUCKMATE on the market, and there’s no comparison with
other brands. Every other sat nav was designed for cars, but
TRUCKMATE was clearly made with commercial vehicles in mind. Because
of the specific restrictions we face every day in our jobs, it’s
immensely useful for driving in the city and in the country. I
recently lent my device to one of my colleagues, and he didn’t want
to let it go!”

Award winning Speed Camera location technology - From only £29.99 inc vat per year!
Snooper TRUCKMATE is completely unique. Unlike any other sat nav system
TRUCKMATE provides you with speed limit alerts specific to the class
of vehicle you are driving. Plus you can update the speed camera
database 24hrs a day 365 days a year. Truckmate uses our unique AURA
database which is updated daily, so the second a new camera is added
you can download it, because anything less than 100% cover is just not
an option. Truckmate gets you effortlessly from A to B whilst ensuring
that you get there with your license intact.
THE AURA ADVANTAGE!
THE IMPORTANCE OF VERIFICATION - All databases are not created equal.
Unlike AURA, many other GPS databases rely largely on locations provided by hobbyists
who might not be able to tell a speed camera or a red light camera from
a traffic flow camera or a surveillance camera. These databases could
result in annoying false alerts, which could lead you to start ignoring
even legitimate alerts--defeating the point of having a GPS database in
the first place.
Other databases are not updated every day, and they also limit how
often you can download updates. As a result, devices using these
databases are not as up-to-date as they could be and are likely to miss alerts.
In contrast, Snooper has assembled a professional team that devotes every working day to verifying each and every speed camera and high risk zone that goes into the AURA database. by contacting:
The AURA database is constantly updated, and can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
AURA’s reliability is backed up by Snooper, one of the most respected
and trusted satellite navigation and speed camera location
manufacturers. Snooper has won dozens of awards for innovation and
product performance and has been establised since 1979.
If you’re considering a GPS database to reduce your risk of an
unintended speeding ticket or accident, doesn’t it make sense to go with
the database—and the company—that reduces that risk the most?
